In the mood for a Christmas farce? A guy works as a department store Santa, which works out fine until his wife, the "other woman," a hypnotist, a burglar and a cop show up in Sorry! Wrong Chimney! (Oh, also a gun-toting moll, the burglar's fiancee.) Done readers theater-style by Ignite! Community Theatre on Fri 7 pm at Gonzaga's Foley Center, and Sun 2 pm at the Blue Door (as above). (This show will also be produced at Lake City Playhouse a year from now.)
